HC Deb 07 December 1976 vol 922 c138W
Mr. Ralph Howell

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish details showing how rent rebate is calculated.

Mr. Armstrong

The basic method of calculating rent rebates is set out in Schedule 3 to the Housing Finance Act 1972. Schemes adopted locally can be more generous within certain limits, and the details may be obtained from the local authorities concerned. I am sending the hon. Member a copy of the latest edition of the Department's leaflet "There's Money Off Rent".
